[OM] Plastic Lens question

Sorry, slightly OT, but I was wondering, does anybody know the resolving limit on plastic lenses?

One of my students went on a trip and just got back; well, the pictures were horrible; taken with a P&S camera that had a plastic lens..

She said she was frustrated after seeing my pics as far as clarity and resolution. I'm just curious if anybody knows just how big of a difference glass vs. plastics is.

I know based on glasses; glass is less than 1/2 as thick.. So I don't know if that's linear or exponential, but that should mean that it at least resolves 2x as well vs. plastic??
